Donations large and small ...
Count me in, too.
American Cancer Society will be the recipient.
Might actually squeeze out ten reviews, too.

ps. Nice idea, Sleeper. Yes! Yes! ...... Yes! Yes! Yes! |

P.S. I'm in too --either Diabetes research or Humane Society.
My two favorite causes as well! Count me in. I probably won't make it to 10 this month, but I'll gladly donate my regular earnings to my local humane society and JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).

RE: Writing for Charity ...writing from the heart...
I was at the vet's today getting my dog checked out when a woman brought in a little kitten who had a badly broken leg. She didn't have the money to pay for the repair of the kitten's leg and had found the kitten on the side of the road so she wasn't emotionally invested in it.
The decision was made to put that precious kitty to sleep so I offered to pay for the kitten's care and then either find her a home and bring her home with me. I couldn't let that sweet thing be put to sleep when the vet said she would more than likely be able to live a long, normal life after her leg was healed.
It's looking like my charity may change to "little kitten at the vet's" charity because the bill is gonna be a big one. But well worth it.
Patty
Edited to say: But I'll still give some to AURORA as well because they deserve it. So many charities, so little IS! But I am cranking out the reviews this month. |

Yay Patty! Wow, what a generous offer. If you can't find a home for the kitten, they are wonderful pets. |

I was a vet's assistant years ago and I saw some eye opening things that people do to their pets and things people won't do for their pets. For me, pets are family.
I have two cats now and have had up to 13 at a time! That was when I found a whole litter and a Mama left to die in the woods in mid summer.
My husband about burst a vein in his neck when he heard me say I would take the responsibility for the kitten but later, he said we had no choice. She was purring so loudly yet in such pain. How can you NOT love an animal like that?
I called and her surgery went well and she is resting and purring. Awwww.
Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I'm doing ME a favor with this kitten. It feels good knowing she will have a happy life after this - more than likely snuggled on my lap. lol.

My thanks once again for all who have jumped on the bandwagon and chosen to give just a bit back to the local charity of their choice.

Thank you, Tom, for the motivation. I needed it.

I have 20 in the bag and I would like to double it. Graduation of my oldest this weekend might interfere with the best of intentions there. |

RE: Update . . .and a bump...
As of today, I now have a total of 35 reviews with 20 of them having the /review/ in them.
Those twenty that equal $40 go to Kristinas charity.
Five more to go for my own charity.

RE: Update . . .and a bump...
I pledged 20...have 7. That pesky thing called vacation got in the way more than I thought it would. I'll definitely make 10, but no matter what will donate the equivalent of 20 plus a bit more to my charity (Pets Without Parents).

RE: Update . . .and a bump...
I thought I would do 20 but have done 26 so I am going for 30.
Kitty's ready to be released to...someone. And I have a bill to pay!
I wish I could do 40 and could but that would stress me out and make my reviews cruddy so I am sticking to 30 and patting myself on the back for doing that many. :)
